Toei Animation & CJ Entertainment
By Epic Dope Staff | October 13, 2021
Korean films like Parasite and Squid Game are currently breaking through not only box office records but also language and regional barriers.
Toei Animation announced that it is partnering with South Korean film production company CJ Entertainment to create more content.
Live-action and anime adaptations of previously hit series are on their list of upcoming projects. Entirely new works will also be released starting 2024.
CJ Entertainment’s CEO, Jeong Tae Sung, has previously acknowledged the growing popularity of webtoons and their drama adaptations.
Several webtoons get adapted into Korean dramas every year. Some of the most current top-rankers are Itaewon Class, True Beauty, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? etc.
If these two powerhouses use their marketing and production prowess, we are surely looking at a golden age of Asian media content.
